Syphilis-Treatment
The specialist venerologist put the treatment for syphilis.
Local treatment is useless because the infection invade deeply and spread by vascular channels at an early stage.The best medication for early syphilis is penicillin to which the treponemes have not so far developed a resistance.The most efficient way to maintaining adequate blood levels is to inject intramuscularly aqueous procaine penicillin daily for 10 days(only after medical prescription).
Late syphilis is also treated with penicillin but the shemes of dosage and nmber of courses vary with its manifestations.Treatment should be proceded by radiological examination of the heart and aorta and by tests on the cerebrospinal fluid.
Even though apparently cured,in case of women it should be given a further course of treatment in their next pregnancy,to protect the fetus.The baby should be assesed 6 weeks and 3 months after birth.
